Short telomeres are a sign of stress and cellular aging, and are also associated with a higher risk of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
An international team has analyzed samples taken from the asteroid Ryugu in 2018 by the Hayabusa2 mission and found uracil, one of the five key bases of the RNA and DNA molecules that are crucial to life as we know it.
One of the most common sources of magnetic fields on large scales comes from the collisions between and within interstellar plasma. This is one of the major sources of magnetic fields for galactic-scale magnetic fields.
U.S. researchers claim to have increased the photoresponsivity of a lead-halide perovskite for solar cell applications by 250%.
Even if we manage to stabilize Earth's temperatures by peaking at 2 °C, Greenland's and Antarctica's vast ice sheets are on track for irreversible melting, a new study warns.
The host star, TOI-5205, is just about four times the size of Jupiter, yet it has somehow managed to form a Jupiter-sized planet, which is quite surprising.
Google researchers demonstrated they could reduce errors in calculations while increasing the number of physical quantum bits (qubits) in a 'logical qubit,' a building block of large-scale quantum computers.
A new U.S. study released earlier this month reports on a worrying link between higher levels of air pollution and faster bone loss through osteoporosis
Two newly discovered forms of frozen salt water could help scientists resolve a mystery concerning the Solar System's ice-encrusted moons.
A high-risk stem cell transplant has rid a middle-aged man of any signs of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) more than nine years after treatment.
Netherland's team of researchers developed a light sensor more sensitive than anything built before.
A comma-shaped molecular cloud near the center of the Milky Way seems to be orbiting one of the most sought-after objects in astronomy - an intermediate black hole.
In the southern hemisphere summer of 2022, the amount of sea ice dropped to 1.92m sq km on 25 February – an all-time low based on satellite observations that started in 1979.
The new layer of the inner core consists of an iron-nickel alloy, like other parts of the core, but it has a different crystal structure.
Observations of supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies point to a likely source of dark energy - the "missing" 70% of the Universe.
